In brewing, achieving high-quality results relies on the ability to accurately detect and describe the flavors, aromas and textural characteristics found in every beer. Every human being has differences in their sensory abilities to detect beer off flavors, yet practically anyone can build their skills through the process of sensory training. Breweries, and those involved in beer judging and serving like BJCP Judges (Beer Judge Certification Program) or a Beer Cicerone, use professionally-designed sensory panel training techniques to improve taster accuracy. By using pure food-grade flavor and aroma compounds added to samples of reference beer, tasters learn to separate the hundreds of beer off flavors into individual recognizable traits, giving the taster valuable knowledge about desirable and undesirable characteristics in the beverage.
